  1. should add that there is no movement/play in the wheels so have ruled out hub
  2. Just replaced my starter motor on Disco TD5. Here's what I did ! (Start by removing the 2 electrical connections/disconnecting battery) 1. You will need a 3/8 ratchet socket with 15mm socket and 6inch extension bar. Don't buy a dear one! I brought this one from Argos for £14.99 which worked perfectly http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...SOCKET+SET.htm 2. Put 15mm socket onto 6inch extension bar. 3. Working from below the starter and laying at approx 45 degree angle locate the nut with your left fingers then feed the socket + extension bar to it. Slide the socket on. Once it's on it shouldn't come off (tight fit). I shone a light through from above the engine which helped. 4. You will now be able to attach the ratchet to the extension bar. Do it so the ratchet is upside down - that gives you plenty of room to play with. 5. Undo the nut - it wasn't overly tight on mine. One thing to remember, the nut wont come fully off because the socket wedges against the starter. This is not a problem, when it feels very loose then leave it. 6. Undo the remaining 2 bolts (13mm and may need a good tug). The starter motor will now slide off. Hope this personal experience helps! Good luck with it!
  3. Hi, I'm having a problem with my Discovery 2002 TD5. If I tell you the symptons maybe someone can help! (I'm not sure all of these are related but I'll say anyway) 1. Wear on the drivers tyre (inside) 2. Steering wanders to the nearside if I let steering will go 3. Knocking/rumbling noise coming from front (underneath). This first appeared when turning right but is now present most of the time. 4. Noise gets very loud the faster the car goes (especially motorway driving) 5. Noise seems to be linked to wheel speed I've changed bushes in panhard rod Steering box leak was fixed at last MOT Any ideas what it could be ? Thanks in advance for any help ! club
